Furniture Refinishing: A Dresser for Baby

With hubby having some vacation time off between Christmas and the New Year, we were able to get a start on our baby nursery. Hooray! The walls got a fresh coat of paint (white walls with one gray/neutral accent wall), and I was able to refinish the dresser/changing table I found at an antique/thrift store ($82, not bad). We also got everything cleaned out of the room so we could put down the new zebra stripe area rug I found on Amazon…love!

Here’s what I started with…

Here are the materials I used to refinish the dresser:1. An electric, hand-held sander2. Dark Walnut Wood Stain and Sealer (Varathane at Home Depot)3. Polar Bear White Paint on the drawers4. Foam roller to smoothly apply the paint5. CLR (hubby cleaned the hardware to bring out that copper shine!)

And here’s what it looks like now…

Now it’s on to the next phase of nursery for baby! Stay tuned for more.
